the cnn poll showing president obama trailing romney in florida, and he's leading in 11 other battleground states. including an eight-point lead in iowa and a six-point lead in wisconsin. just as we begin to focus less on the national polls and more on the swing states, so the unemployment numbers can be broken out state by state with some good news for the president. the bureau of labor statistics reports unemployment dropped sharply in nine swing states over the past nine months, and no, it's not a conspiracy, but it may explain why the president's numbers remain more solid in those critical swing states. while mitt romney was off the campaign trail to prepare for monday's debate, an energized president obama campaigned in fairfax, virginia. while he admitted he was no doctor, he offered a new diagnostic term for his rival's flip flopping on the issues. >> he's changing up so much and backtracking and side stepin' we got to--we got to name this condition that he's going through. i think--i think it's called romnesia. >> eliot: nice line but when it comes to foreign policy the gap between
